Ochoa led the Pirates with a score of 84 on the par-71 course, followed by Jake Keuning with an 87.

Taylor Heitz notched a 92 on the day, while Mudroch and Bryce Jacquez both ended with a 95.

“Everybody played pretty well,” Faber said.

And the strong finish on the course is a promising sign for the four Pirates taking part in Tuesday’s regional tournament: Mudroch, Ochoa, Keuning and Heitz.

The team will practice on the course Monday before playing for real on Tuesday.

Faber said 26 teams are expected to play in the tournament, which includes 1A, 2A and 3A competition (Pagosa is 3A).

“I hope the weather holds. We’ve been playing in hot weather all year and this is about the time of year it changes,” Faber said. “We’re excited for it, we really are. They’re doing what they’re supposed to do.”

Following regionals, the state tournament will be held Sept. 30, where the top individuals and teams will face off.
